Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method of remotely controlling intravenous (IV) liquid infusion into a patient, the method comprising: establishing a wireless communication link between an IV liquid infusion device and a remote control device by selecting a channel from a plurality of configured user-selectable channels of the remote control device that coincides with a user-selectable channel of the IV liquid infusion device; controlling operation of the IV liquid infusion device from a remote location using the remote control device to deliver medicinal or nutritional liquids intravenously to the patient; and monitoring a status of the IV liquid infusion device using a display of the remote control device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IV liquid infusion device is in a hyperbaric chamber and the remote location of the remote control device is outside the hyperbaric chamber.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IV liquid infusion device is in a shielded room and the remote location of the remote control device is outside the shielded room.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the shielded room is a magnetic resonance imaging room that is electromagnetically shielded.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the display of the remote control device mirrors a display of the IV liquid infusion device.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein frequencies of the plurality of configured channels are between 2.400 GHz and 2.480 GHz.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising configuring a frequency hopping pattern and a time duration pattern of the selected channel.
8. A method of remotely controlling intravenous (IV) liquid infusion into a patient, the method comprising: establishing a wireless communication link between an IV liquid infusion device and a remote control device by selecting a channel from a plurality of configured channels of the remote control device manually selectable by an operator of the remote control device that coincides with a manually-selectable channel of the IV liquid infusion device; controlling operation of the IV liquid infusion device from a remote location using the remote control device to deliver medicinal or nutritional liquids intravenously to the patient; and monitoring a status of the IV liquid infusion device using a display of the remote control device, wherein the IV liquid infusion device is housed in an RF-shielded, non-magnetic housing.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the IV liquid infusion device is in a shielded room and the remote location of the remote control device is outside the shielded room.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the shielded room is a magnetic resonance imaging room that is electromagnetically shielded.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the display of the remote control device mirrors a display of the IV liquid infusion device.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the IV liquid infusion device is in a hyperbaric chamber and the remote location of the remote control device is outside the hyperbaric chamber.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the status comprises a status of a battery of the IV liquid infusion device.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the status comprises a connection status between the remote control device and the IV liquid infusion device.
15. A method of remotely controlling intravenous (IV) liquid infusion into a patient, the method comprising: establishing a wireless communication link between an IV liquid infusion device and a remote control device by selecting a channel from a plurality of configured user-selectable channels of the remote control device that coincides with a user-selectable channel of the IV liquid infusion device; controlling operation of the IV liquid infusion device from a remote location using the remote control device to deliver medicinal or nutritional liquids intravenously to the patient; and monitoring a status of the IV liquid infusion device using a display of the remote control device, wherein the IV liquid infusion device is configured to deliver the medicinal or nutritional liquids at a pressure between 0.2 and 10 PSI.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the IV liquid infusion device is in a shielded room and the remote location of the remote control device is outside the shielded room.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the shielded room is a magnetic resonance imaging room that is electromagnetically shielded.
18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the display of the remote control device mirrors a display of the IV liquid infusion device.
19. The method of claim 15 , further comprising configuring a frequency hopping pattern and a time duration pattern of the selected channel.
20. The method of claim 15 , wherein the status comprises a connection status between the remote control device and the IV liquid infusion device.
